Forgetting to Update
I see some books that I didn't tell you I completed. Some may be repeats:
The Time Machine
The Cure
Larklight
The White Mountains
I LOVE YOU 12:55 PM
Up to about 130 in The Iron Heel.
I thought I was 8 pages from the end of Stranger in a Strange Land but again my math skills fail me and I am 18 pages from the end.
On page 60 something in Cat's Eye.
There is a strange accomplishment in reading The Iron Heel even though I am only, at best, skimming it.
I LOVE YOU 12:51 PM

Forgotten Item and More
I forgot to say that I finished Space Race in part because I hated it so much.
I have finished The Quantum Prophecy and I really liked it in the end. I will likely read more in the series.
The Stepford Wives was great.
Still working on Coraline with audio. I am somewhere around page 89 in the paper book.
I am not sure where I am in Perfect On Paper but I am still working on it and enjoying it.
The Cure p. 108/258
Larklight p. 57/400
Want to read soon:
The White Mountains
Cat's Eye
To Kill a Mockingbird
Franny and Zooey
The Time Machine
Taking The Boy Book back without reading it. Maybe another time.
I finished The Little Prince which will go towards my !% Well Read Challenge.
I LOVE YOU 2:35 PM

Updating
I finished the audio of Beautiful Red. I really really enjoyed it and am considering listening to it again.
I started the audio of Coraline. I am very mixed about it.
The Quantum Prophecy is progressing nicely. It is really interesting but has a lot of character and point of view shifts. I am waiting to get a little more into it before passing judgement.
I started reading a book from the library called Tria and the Great Star Rescue. I finished it last night and I really liked it. For the age level that is was (9-12) I like the level of complexity for the science fiction elements, though the story was stupid at times.
I have read about 10 pages into The Stepford Wives. There are a lot of things I like about the author's writing style.
I said I was reading 2 graphic novels and one of them was really a graphic memoir. It was called To Dance and it is back at the library now. It was pretty good, but not amazing.
Oh and I also got a whole bunch more books out of the library. They are mostly for younger readers.
I LOVE YOU 8:24 PM
